Chapter 966: This Seems Quite Good

Wails and curses echoed continuously.

This time, countless supreme beings and demon gods were killed or wounded.

Lin Fan’s heart was also in excruciating pain. All of these were valuable experiences, yet they were gone for nothing. What a sorrowful and absurd situation.

Who knows how much time had passed, but eventually, everyone recovered from their injuries. Then, one by one, they gazed up into the void, as if filled with despair for the future.

“Hehehe, hahaha…” Suddenly, an ancient ancestor burst into a wild laugh toward the sky.

“Transcendence… this is transcendence. After fighting for countless eons, what have we truly gained in the end?”

All the supreme beings fell silent.

From the very beginning, they had been competing, striving to survive and now finally achieving transcendence.

But what now?

Countless lives lost, innumerable supreme beings perished within this secret realm.

“What exactly are we?” A helpless roar suddenly erupted, “We only wanted to transcend, we only wanted to live, but there is no hope at all.”

Hearing these words, Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

The Pangu Demon God had lost his former majesty, and the Great Sage took off his tattered armor, tossing it aside.

“Actually, there’s still a bit of a chance,” Lin Fan said.

Swish!

All eyes turned toward Lin Fan. They once hated the Human Emperor, but now, they could no longer afford to hold that hatred.

What use were all their divine treasures if they still couldn’t transcend?

“Human Emperor, what chance do you have? If you truly had a way, would you still be here?” an ancestor sneered, then stood up, preparing to await their destruction.

The Pangu Demon God and others looked at Lin Fan, puzzled as to what this “chance” could be.

Seeing the state of these supreme beings, Lin Fan decided not to keep them waiting. “I’ve captured one of those mysterious beings. Perhaps from him, we can learn the truth behind all this.”

“What?”

As soon as Lin Fan spoke, everyone was shocked.

Initially, they hadn’t even considered capturing those mysterious beings. Later, when they encountered even more powerful entities, they had wanted to capture them, but by then it was already too late.

“Everyone, watch closely. Perhaps everything we want to know, he can tell us.”

Without further explanation, Lin Fan immediately released the Xiaoyao Prince from his pocket dimension.

“Ahh!”

As soon as the Xiaoyao Prince emerged, he clutched his crotch and cried out in pain, his eyes filled with fury. But when he saw the dense crowd of supreme beings surrounding him, fear flickered within his gaze.

Lin Fan took out his legendary brick and slammed it down hard on the Xiaoyao Prince, knocking him unconscious.

“Primordial Art—River of Fate!”

With a single point of his finger, a mysterious aura surged forth, enveloping the Xiaoyao Prince.

Instantly, a series of scenes unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

Vast worlds, countless beings, and numerous sects appeared. Especially through this fellow’s experiences, Lin Fan witnessed many powerful beings he had never known before—many of them even stronger than the last mysterious being they had encountered.

Then came the most shocking moment.

In a scene resembling a secret realm, countless mysterious beings rushed in, only to meet Lin Fan and the others.

“It is said that the Xinfeng Heavenly Sovereign perished, his body transforming into this secret realm. All the vicious creatures within are born from the Sovereign’s primordial essence…”

As these words appeared, Lin Fan’s expression subtly changed.

The other supreme beings also froze, as if unable to believe what they had just seen.

“Are we all just manifestations of a supreme being’s primordial essence?”

When one ancestor spoke these words, everyone was stunned into silence.

At this moment, even Lin Fan was left speechless.

After all this time, he had only now discovered that he had been living inside the body of a dead person.

This… this…

This revelation was just too much for Lin Fan to take in all at once.

The myriad races of the Great Thousand World, countless universes, Earth itself—all were born from the primordial essence of a single supreme being.

Who exactly was this Xinfeng Heavenly Sovereign, to be so powerful?

And who the hell was he?

What was this system?

At this moment, Lin Fan felt a bit dazed, but he could still manage to accept it.

However, having cultivated to such a level, the minds of these supreme beings were as solid as stone. After only a brief moment of shock, they quickly regained their composure.

“Now everything is clear,” said the Pangu Demon God.

“Then how do we transcend? If we are merely beings born from the essence of a supreme being, how can we escape?”

“We can sense the destruction of eons, perhaps because we are born from the Heavenly Sovereign, thus we can feel life and death.”

“We have survived countless eons, meaning the Heavenly Sovereign must have perished countless eons ago. It’s likely that his essence is nearly exhausted, unable to sustain this secret realm any longer. If we cannot transcend, we will all perish here.”

The supreme beings began to discuss.

“There may still be a sliver of hope,” said the Emperor of Water and Fire.

“Water and Fire Emperor, what do you mean?” the others asked in confusion.

“Is the Demon God of Reincarnation still alive?” he asked.

“I’m right here…” The Demon God of Reincarnation was a short, ancient figure, barely noticeable among the demon gods.

“There is only one way now: we must send someone out of here to save us in the future,” the Emperor of Water and Fire declared.

“I’ll go…” Upon hearing this, many supreme beings immediately volunteered. Whoever left would achieve transcendence.

“You all are not suitable. Only the Human Emperor qualifies,” the Emperor of Water and Fire said.

“What do you mean, Water and Fire Emperor? Everyone knows the Human Emperor is your man. Are you trying to send him away for your own benefit?” the others protested.

“Hmph! You call yourselves supreme beings, yet you haven’t even noticed this?”

The air was filled with incessant wails and curses.

This time, countless supreme beings and demon gods perished.

Lin Fan’s heart ached deeply as well—these were all potential experiences, now lost in vain. What a tragedy, what a damn shame.

After an unknown period, everyone’s injuries had healed, and they gazed up at the void, as if filled with despair for the future.

“Haha, hahaha…” At this moment, an elder laughed maniacally towards the sky.

“Transcendence, this is transcendence. After fighting for so many epochs, what have we gained in the end?”

All the supreme beings fell silent.

They had been competing from the very beginning, only to fall into slumber, and now to this so-called transcendence.

But what now?

Countless deaths, countless supreme beings perished within this secret realm.

“What is all this?” A helpless roar suddenly erupted. “We just wanted to transcend, we just wanted to live, but there’s no hope at all.”

Hearing these voices, Lin Fan could only sigh in resignation.

The once-mighty Pan Gu Demon God had lost his imposing aura, and the Great Sage removed his tattered armor, tossing it aside.

“Actually, there might still be a chance,” Lin Fan spoke up.

Whoosh!

Everyone turned their gaze to Lin Fan. They had once despised the Human Emperor, but now, that hatred had faded.

What use were divine treasures if they couldn’t achieve transcendence?

“Human Emperor, what chance do you have? If you had one, would you still be here?”

An elder sneered, then stood up, ready to await the coming destruction.

Pan Gu Demon God and the others looked up at Lin Fan, unsure of what chance he was referring to.

Seeing the supreme beings in such a state, Lin Fan didn’t beat around the bush. “I’ve subdued one of those mysterious beings. Perhaps we can learn from him what all this is about.”

“What?”

Lin Fan’s words shocked everyone.

Initially, they hadn’t even considered capturing these mysterious beings. But later, when they encountered even more powerful entities, they wanted to capture them—only to find it was too late.

“Watch closely. Perhaps he can tell us everything we want to know.”

Without further ado, Lin Fan released the Carefree Prince from his pocket dimension.

“Ah!”

As soon as he appeared, the Carefree Prince clutched his crotch, wailing incessantly. His eyes burned with anger, but when he saw the dense crowd of beings surrounding him, fear flickered in his gaze.

Lin Fan took out a brick and knocked the Carefree Prince unconscious with a single strike.

“Source Technique: River of Fate.”

Lin Fan pointed, and a mysterious aura surged forth, enveloping the Carefree Prince.

In an instant, a series of images appeared before everyone.

A vast world, countless beings, numerous sects—through the experiences of this being, Lin Fan also saw unknown powerful entities.

Some were even stronger than the last being they had encountered.

But what caught everyone’s attention the most was a scene that unfolded.

A place resembling a secret realm, where countless mysterious beings entered, only to encounter Lin Fan and the others.

“Rumors say that the Heavenly Lord Xin Feng fell, his body transforming into a secret realm, and the creatures within were born from his essence…”

When Lin Fan saw these words, his expression changed slightly.

The other supreme beings were also stunned, as if they couldn’t believe it.

“Are we all just manifestations of a powerful being’s essence?”

When an elder uttered these words, everyone was dumbfounded.

Lin Fan, too, was dumbstruck.

After all this time, he had just realized that he had been living inside a dead man’s body.

This… this was too much to process.

The myriad races, the countless worlds, Earth—all were manifestations of a powerful being’s essence.

Who was this Heavenly Lord Xin Feng? How could he be so formidable?

What the hell am I?

And what is this system?

For a moment, Lin Fan was a bit dazed, but he could still accept it.

However, having cultivated to such a level, everyone’s minds were as solid as rock. After a brief moment of confusion, they quickly regained their composure.

“Now everything is clear,” Pan Gu Demon God said.

“Pan Gu, how do we transcend? We are just beings born from a powerful entity’s essence. How do we leave?”

“We can sense the end of an epoch, probably because we are born from the Heavenly Lord, allowing us to sense life and death.”

“We have lived through countless epochs, which means the Heavenly Lord has been dead for countless epochs. It’s likely that we are nearing the end, and the remaining essence can no longer sustain the secret realm. If we cannot transcend, we will all perish here.”

The supreme beings began to discuss.

“Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

“Water-Fire Emperor, what do you mean?” the supreme beings asked in confusion.

“Is the Reincarnation Demon God dead?” the Water-Fire Emperor asked.

“I’m here…” The Reincarnation Demon God was a short ancient race member, almost invisible among the ancient race demon gods.

“Now there is only one way—send someone out, and let them come back to save us,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

“I’ll go…” The supreme beings immediately volunteered. Whoever left would achieve transcendence.

“None of you qualify. Only the Human Emperor qualifies,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

“Water-Fire Emperor, what do you mean? Everyone knows the Human Emperor is your man. Are you trying to send him away?” The supreme beings were not having it.

“Hmph, and you call yourselves supreme beings? Haven’t you noticed this detail?”

“Only the Human Emperor’s aura is closest to those mysterious beings. If any of you were sent out, you wouldn’t even have time to reincarnate before being killed by the powerful beings of that world,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

Lin Fan was stunned. What the hell does this have to do with me? But then again, this might not be so bad.

If I stay here, it’s certain death. But if I leave, there’s still a chance.

The supreme beings looked at the subdued mysterious being, then at the Human Emperor. Indeed, only the Human Emperor’s aura was the closest.

“What if he doesn’t come back to save us after leaving?” a supreme being asked.

“He will. I, Lin Fan, always keep my word. Once I’m out, I’ll definitely find a way to save you,” Lin Fan said.

“We don’t believe you,” the supreme beings shook their heads.

“This is the last resort. Whether you believe it or not, we’re all doomed otherwise,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

For a moment, the supreme beings pondered.

Finally, they agreed.

“Fine, I believe you.”

“Human Emperor, don’t let us down.”

The supreme beings looked at Lin Fan.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down,” Lin Fan said, now quite pleased.

The Water-Fire Emperor looked at Lin Fan. This was a gamble, placing all their hopes on the Human Emperor.

“Alright, gather around. Let’s discuss how the Human Emperor should proceed once he’s out. This concerns everyone’s survival, so take it seriously.”

“But before that, I think we should eliminate the surrounding threats,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

“What do you mean?” The supreme beings were startled, not understanding the Water-Fire Emperor’s words.

“Hmph, how long do you plan to hide?” The Water-Fire Emperor’s brows furrowed, and a vast voice exploded, shattering the void.

The Seven Saints, hidden in the void, instantly exploded…

How the hell did he find me?

Lin Fan was momentarily stunned. What did this have to do with him? But thinking again, maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea.

If he stayed here, it was only a matter of time before death. But if he left, there was still a sliver of hope.

The supreme beings looked at the captured mysterious being, then at the Human Emperor. Indeed, only the Human Emperor’s aura was the most similar.

“What if he leaves and never comes back to save us?” one asked.

“He won’t,” Lin Fan replied. “I, Lin Fan, always keep my word. If I get out, I’ll definitely find a way to save you all.”

“We don’t believe you,” the others shook their heads.

“This is our last hope. You either believe it or not, but if we all do nothing, we’ll die anyway,” the Emperor of Water and Fire said.

For a moment, the supreme beings fell silent, contemplating.

Finally, they agreed.

“Fine, I believe you.”

“Human Emperor, we hope you won’t disappoint us.”

The supreme beings looked at Lin Fan.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I won’t let you down,” Lin Fan said cheerfully.

The Emperor of Water and Fire looked at Lin Fan. This was a gamble, placing all their hopes on the Human Emperor.

“Alright, come here everyone. We must discuss together how the Human Emperor should proceed once he leaves. This concerns all of our lives, so I hope you all take it seriously.”

“But before that, I think we should eliminate the hidden dangers around us first,” the Emperor of Water and Fire added.

“What do you mean?” the other supreme beings were startled, not understanding his meaning.

“Hmph! How long do you plan to hide?” The Emperor of Water and Fire furrowed his brows, unleashing a mighty voice that shattered the void.

The wailing and cursing never ceased.

This time, countless supreme beings and demon gods perished.

Lin Fan’s heart ached as well, for all of these were potential experience points, now lost forever. What a tragedy, what a damn shame.

After an unknown period, everyone’s injuries had healed, and they gazed into the void, seemingly filled with despair for the future.

“Haha, hahaha…” At this moment, an ancient ancestor burst into maniacal laughter.

“Transcendence, this is transcendence. After fighting for so many epochs, what have we gained in the end?”

All the supreme beings fell silent.

They had been competing from the very beginning, and now, after countless battles, they had reached transcendence.

But what now?

Countless deaths, countless supreme beings perished within this secret realm.

“What is all this?” A desperate roar suddenly erupted. “We just wanted to transcend, we just wanted to live, but there’s no hope at all.”

Hearing these voices, Lin Fan could only sigh helplessly.

The once-mighty Pangu Demon God had lost his aura, and the Great Sage removed his tattered armor, tossing it aside.

“Actually, there’s still a bit of hope,” Lin Fan spoke up.

Whoosh!

Everyone turned their gaze to Lin Fan. They had once hated the Human Emperor, but now, they couldn’t bring themselves to hate anymore.

What use were all the divine treasures if they couldn’t transcend?

“Human Emperor, what hope could you possibly have? If you had any, would you still be here?”

An ancient ancestor sneered, then stood up, ready to await the coming destruction.

Pangu Demon God and the others looked up at Lin Fan, unsure of what hope he could offer.

Seeing the supreme beings in such a state, Lin Fan didn’t beat around the bush. “I’ve captured one of those mysterious beings. Perhaps we can learn from him what all this is about.”

“What?”

Lin Fan’s words shocked everyone.

Initially, they hadn’t even considered capturing these mysterious beings, but later, when they encountered even more powerful entities, they wanted to capture them, but it was already too late.

“Watch closely. Perhaps he can tell us everything we want to know.”

Lin Fan took out a brick and knocked the Carefree Prince unconscious with a single strike.

“Source Technique, River of Fate.”

Lin Fan pointed a finger, and a mysterious aura emanated, enveloping the Carefree Prince.

In an instant, a series of images appeared before everyone.

A vast world, countless beings, numerous sects—through the experiences of this being, Lin Fan also saw unknown powerful entities.

Some were even stronger than the last being they had encountered.

This… this was too much information to process.

The myriad races, the countless worlds, Earth—all were manifestations of a powerful being’s essence.

Who was this Heavenly Lord Xinfeng? How could he be so formidable?

What the hell am I?

And what is this system?

At this moment, Lin Fan was a bit dazed, but he could still accept it.

However, having cultivated to such a level, everyone’s minds were as solid as rock, and after a brief moment of confusion, they quickly regained their composure.

“Now everything is clear,” Pangu Demon God said.

“Pangu, how do we transcend? We’re just beings born from a powerful entity’s essence. How do we leave?”

“We can sense the end of the epoch, probably because we’re manifestations of the Heavenly Lord, allowing us to sense life and death.”

“We’ve lived through countless epochs, which means the Heavenly Lord has been dead for countless epochs. It’s likely that the remaining essence can no longer sustain the secret realm. If we can’t transcend, we’ll all perish here.”

The supreme beings began to discuss.

“Perhaps there’s still a glimmer of hope,” the Water-Fire Emperor spoke up.

“Water-Fire Emperor, what do you mean?” the supreme beings asked, puzzled.

“Has the Reincarnation Demon God perished?” the Water-Fire Emperor asked.

“I’m here…” The Reincarnation Demon God was a short ancient being, one who had little presence among the ancient demon gods.

“Now there’s only one way—send someone out to eventually save us,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

“I’ll go…” The supreme beings immediately volunteered. Whoever left would achieve transcendence.

“None of you are suitable. Only the Human Emperor fits,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

“Water-Fire Emperor, what do you mean? Everyone knows the Human Emperor is your man. Are you trying to send him away?” The supreme beings were not pleased.

“Hmph, and you call yourselves supreme beings? Haven’t you noticed this detail?”

“Only the Human Emperor’s aura is closest to those mysterious beings. If any of you were sent out, you’d be killed by the powerful beings of that world before you could even reincarnate,” the Water-Fire Emperor explained.

Lin Fan was stunned. What the hell does this have to do with me? But then again, it didn’t seem like a bad idea.

If he stayed here, it was certain death, but if he left, there was still a glimmer of hope.

The supreme beings looked at the captured mysterious being, then at the Human Emperor. Indeed, only the Human Emperor’s aura was the closest.

“What if this guy doesn’t come back to save us after he leaves?” a supreme being asked.

“He will. I, Lin Fan, always keep my word. Once I’m out, I’ll definitely find a way to save you,” Lin Fan said.

“We don’t believe you,” the supreme beings shook their heads.

“This is the last resort. Whether you believe it or not, we have no other choice. Otherwise, we’ll all just wait for death,” the Water-Fire Emperor said.

For a moment, the supreme beings pondered.

Finally, they agreed.

“Fine, I believe you.”

“Human Emperor, don’t let us down.”

The supreme beings looked at Lin Fan.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down,” Lin Fan was now quite pleased.

The Water-Fire Emperor looked at Lin Fan. This was a gamble, placing all their hopes on the Human Emperor.

“Alright, everyone gather around. Let’s discuss how the Human Emperor should proceed once he’s out. This concerns everyone’s survival, so take it seriously.”

“What do you mean?” The supreme beings were startled, not understanding the Water-Fire Emperor’s words.

“Hmph, how long do you plan to hide?” The Water-Fire Emperor’s brows furrowed, and his powerful voice shattered the void.

The Seven Sage Old Dog, who had been hiding in the void, instantly exploded…

How the hell did he find me?

How the hell did he find me?!
